Year 3

Summer Term Knowledge Organiser – 2024-2025

The latest Year 3 Learning Update!

This term, Year 3 will be diving into the vibrant and diverse world of ‘Rainforests’!
Our topic will inspire learning across all the subjects: in English, children will be exploring ‘Just So Stories’, creating rainforest-inspired stories and writing biographies. In maths, we’ve been consolidating our understanding of fractions and are now moving onto learning about money and telling the time. Don’t forget to keep practicing times tables at home for our weekly tests!
In humanities, we’re investigating rainforest artefacts, learning about the unique climate of these regions, and discovering the fascinating world of the ancient Mayans. Our science lessons will focus on pollination and the parts of a plant, linking beautifully to the rainforest theme.
Gorilla Class recently enjoyed a fantastic visit to Kew Gardens to explore the rainforest environment first hand, and Elephant Class are looking forward to their upcoming trip soon. It’s shaping up to be an exciting and enriching term for everyone!

Year 4

Summer Term Knowledge Organiser – 2024-2025

The latest Year 4 Learning Update!

In English, the children are reading a beautifully written dystopian fiction text called ‘The Promise.’

They have read and retold the story and found their own understanding of the concepts of utopia and dystopia. Through drawing, discussion, description, role-play and creating their own version of the story, year 4 children have immersed themselves in the themes of this story, which fits perfectly with the summer theme of ‘saving our world.’ The children have really developed a stronger understanding of their own impact on the world around them.

This term in maths lessons, year 4 children have deepened their understanding of fractions and decimals, utilising strategies for the 4 operations linking with money, fraction to decimal conversion and place value.

Topic and science in the summer is all about the industrial revolution and the environmental impact felt today. From researching the history and impact of industry and factories, to explaining the geographical movement of the water cycle, to finding out about the habitats of wildlife and how they can be preserved, the children are highly engaged in these ideas and activities.
